One more piece: Order of the Crown with swords from WWI. Does the central crown have the usual shape?

Made in France.

a strange model from my collection

I beleive this piece to have been made in the late 1800's. The white enamel has a lot of black specs in it. These imperfections were typical of early made pieces.

What do tou think about this piece, it's quite strange because the back of King Carol's emblem is flat. What do you think?

I have seen a similar piece before. Look for hallmarks on the suspension ring.

Did you find a hallmark on the suspension ring? What was it?

No it isn't marked.

This means the badge is not made in silver.

Can you please post an image of the box as well? It might give an indication about the period.

I have always thought this type of boxes was characteristic to the pre-WWI period or maybe even earlier.
